Man woke up today and thought, how can I waste a lot of time today and it have literally zero effect on anything. Great comedy relief videos like this are. 😃
The idea is OK - reasonable and understandable. However, there is a catch: by pouring pellets the way you do and then agitating them in that pot, there is a high probability of damaging the pellets, first of all deforming their skirts.
I agree too, I use a plastic container, and gently roll the pellets around in dishwashing liquid, then again slowly and gently pour and rinse off these washed pellets into a plastic sieve , the onto paper towel, and set aside to dry etc. I was amazed at the chips of lead and debris that is left behind in the plastic washing bottle/container.
@@regsparkes6507 Yeah. But the amount of "debris" is much lower compared to different no-name pellets made in Turkey or China. A few years ago, I bought a can of .177s at the local flea market (I live in Serbia), which were so dirty - literary soaking with dark gray lead powder - so that they made my hands looking as if I just came from a coal mine. It took me half an hour to scrub that dirt from the palms and fingers of my hands, using the combination of a dissolvent and a detergent in the process.
@@DrAgan_tortojed Then again as my hands can't take the harsh 'grease cutting' agents in those soaps, I have to wear rubber gloves, I am also aware of possible toxins in those lead pellets, so, I have to use protective gloves. Be careful my friend.
I like to put the pellets submerged in soapy water, drain this water off and replace it with warm water for the first rinse, then into a colander and finish rinsing off the soap, finally a light coating of oil, my tin is covered inside with felt to stop them being damaged and stopping them rattling in your pocket.
For the first time ever I washed two different brands of '177 pellets. I was astounded to the amount of dross present. Hardly the material you want in any air gun and more so in a new one. Great video and definitely worth the effort. Thanks from AU
Use a small silicone soray used to maintain guns after washing the pellets out them standing and spray them dont overdo it afterwards i use a small air compressor i have to just blow some off and place them back at the tin each time you shoot you also maintain your barrel with that silicone spray it just needs a littke bit also your method with the bag is a really good one im gona lube some pellets that way today
This has to be a good idea, after a shoot my hands are filthy with muck from the pellets. Apart from the fact you are making your gun dirty each time you handle it, it can't be a good idea to put the same muck through the gun. Definitely washing and lubing my pellets from now on. Good video.
Been lubing my 22 and 25 pellets for a while now. Got myself the new Avenge x in 25 and shot for a while before changing it over to 1.77. 20 yards pellets were all over the place. Chased my tail for a month on barrel bands/sniffers, adjustable scope rings, 2 different scopes, multiple cleanings, etc etc. was lazy and grabbed a new tin of 177’s .. i was stacking pellets all the sudden? No way. Grabbed the tin of lubed pellets again and shot them … again all over the place. Apparently the avenge x barrel does not like lubed pellets. Funny, i read about it but never had a issue until now.
I have a pretty budget crossman .22 and a ok scope. Actually perfect for an air rifle bit of work getting zeroed. But I've nva lubed my barrel or pellets.
Jsb pellets has very soft lead and you damage the most skirts the way you wash them also they are very clean and lube by factory washing is needed to cheap pellets
I am wondering if this does more harm than good, especially dropping the pellets into the strainer from a height rather than placing them in there gently...EDIT Answered my own question, looking at the close up in the final part of the video you can clearly see damaged skirts on a lot of the pellets.
@@Jeeper1378 Why didn't you in the video? You dumped them into a metal strainer from a height can clearly see all the damaged pellets in the close up of the tin at the end of the video.
I thought I was crazy cause I thought my new pellet revolver had lubed cylinder clips and tin of pellets had slight amounts a film of lube on them and it made loading & firing more successful I bought more pellets and gun dry pellets are squibing getting stuck not firing sliding smooth and now I found this video. And I'm in America my pellet gun is 535-550FPS average of 430fps.
Oh yeah ,I love to massage my bag too, or even better get the Mrs to lube and massage my bag , seriously though a couple of squirts of Napier from the 125 ml atomiser bottle into a 1/2 tin of pellets then gently roll the tin for a couple of minutes and good to go ,keeps barrel in good condition and I have found it helps lube your magazines too 😊
I would be VERY interested to see comparison weight data of the pellets before and after washing (and before lubrication, of course) to have real data as to what amount of "dirt," if any, is in respective brands' tins. You could even use a paper coffee filter under your "ceramic strainer" to see what, if anything, your rinsing out. Btw, do you shoot competitive ly? Hunt regularly to put food on the table? Or is this therapy of sorts, something I can certainly relate to!
and now we are pouring lead contaminated water down the drain. Lead is present in nature but one thing everyone knows is not to intentionally introduce it into the water system. Sure, the drain water go to treatment plants but not always. CLean pellets? Why not but at least figure out what to do with the lead and simply sending it down the drain isn't the answer. Put the drained lead contaminated water into a jog and take it to the refuse processor, they know what to do with it. Its easy and far better.
Nicely explained, would you still need to wash these pellets: Gamo Lethal, Excite Prometheus, RWS Powerball, H&N Hornet, Field Target Trophy Green and the Copper Barracuda Power? Also would it be useful to wash and lube Steel and Copper coated BB's for my Air Pistols?
Andrew I’m lost mate, was that in this video or another? If it was in another can you comment on that video please mate? I have no recollection of saying it
One thing worth remembering is if they don’t make your groups better or worse they are still preforming preventative maintenance to your barrel every time you use them mate, they are cleaning and lubing your barrel for you while using them with very little effort
@@airgunhunteru.k.2600 aye I understand that but when I say over lubed I soaked them in the stuff so entirely my own fault but at that time I wasn't in the know at all
I think more most part its just about trial and testing. What will work for someone may not work for others. At the shooting range someone was really pushing a resizing tool and so i bought one, went through a whole 500 piece tin and tbh there was no difference for me and my barrel
Theoretically the difference it makes is that after you fire hundreds of these rounds there IS no difference. A common complaint about spread grouping patterns is dealt with by cleaning and lubing the barrel. Doing this cleans and lubes as you go so a difference is not seen.
In defense of this guy, cleaning pellets is not a bad idea. Small shavings are always present in pellets straight from the factory. Those shavings can cause problems in your gun further down the road.
Heads up, do not do this on QYS pellets,as this will have a detrimental effect,Qiang Yuan Sports ( QYS} add there own treatment, although you can iubricate, just do not wash.
Just put a little MORE oil on the “pull through” FINAL PATCH (after cleaning the bore). Stick a pellet in the bore, let the rifle stand upright securely in a corner and watch your favorite show for about an hour. Then take out the air rifle and fire at your neighbors APPLE ON THE TREE😮. Now , strictly follow the old saying “ be good to thy neighbor “ and ask him to pluck THAT APPLE 🍎 for you 🙄. The proof is in the 🍎, 🙈
All the pellet experts in the comments just make me laugh here. Do you guys think each pellet when it's manufactured is wrapped up in cotton wool before it's shipped to a whole-saler then onto whoever else to sell on again to you. That pellet could have travelled hundreds/thousands of miles across sea waves and into courrier vans driving over humps and pot-holes on say UK roads getting thrown and bashed about and your moaning about a guy cleaning them in a colinder etc etc. What a bunch of THICK PANSIES you lot really are. 🤣😂

I was massaging my bag as instructed and i can confirm a nice even coat. The toilet, bath, towel rail.. the lot nicely coated =)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏽
Sounds like you may have been massaging the barrel as well.
Remember:
"Cock the hammer slowly, and aim it at your love.
Put my barrel in your holster,
Like a velvet glove.
- W.A.S.P 😅
Just a TIP... After squeezing dem bag(s), remember to cock the hammer SLOWLY... ;)
Me and my brother used to do this when we were kids,20years ago now. Cool to see this is a real thing today still 👍

If like my jsb pellets, the damage came from new!
Handy to know that buddy.Good video.I have washed pellets before but never lubed them.Thanks again👍🏻
lead at the FPS in most airguns is self lubricating. Pellet lube is marketing.
Similar to many CLP products for firearms, the primary, if not only, ingredient in pellet lube is likely just automatic transmission fluid.
I use Lucas dry film, 1 can will last you forever.

I can’t comment if this is worth doing. But it was a good demonstration for consideration to do.

A ultrasonic cleaner would be best method to clean them, minamal risk of damage, much after than swooshing them around a metal sieve
does it reduce barrel fouling?
Jsb exact are so hard to find in the states for calabers other then 17
just saying it’s a good way to bend up you’re pellets too by tumbling them
Yes this video reminds me of a gag by Eddy Van Halen who explained in a French rock magazine that he used to boil his guitar strings ......
Thank you.
